"Coverage for about 7 million people expected to enroll in health exchanges next year will cost U.S. taxpayers about $26 billion, the Congressional Budget Office says. That figure nearly doubles a year later, and exchange coverage is expected to total $1.1 trillion through 2023. A spokeswoman for the agency, Deborah Kilroe, said in an e-mail that it has no estimate of how many people in exchanges will be retirees." FROM speech's link re: cities transferring retirees to exchanges.
That 7 million which doubles a year later to $ 1.1 Trillion probably doesn't include the currently employed workers who will now not know if there employer will ever be required to provide coverage or pay a penalty. Do they bide their time until 2015 and see what happens and hope not to get sick while paying their "tax" for not having insurance or go to exchanges and get covered? How many group policies did insurance companies plan on picking up in 2014 and what effect will having to cover pre-existing conditions etc. now have on everyone's rates? My group plan usually runs from July through June, but this year it runs only until Oct. Insurance companies want as much smoke as possible to clear before they have to agree to any premiums for 2014 and that was before the recent "delay" of employer requirements. Single payer is coming Ex, and it was a pretty shrewd switcheroo planned from day one. |
